Answer: 126 and 128

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem have two consecutive even integers whose sum is 254.

Consecutive even integers can be represented as followed.

X ⇒ <em>first even integer</em>

X + 2 ⇒ <em>second even integer</em>

<em />

Since the sum of these is 254, our equation reads X + X + 2 = 254.

We can simplify on the left side of the equation to get 2x + 2 = 254.

Now, we subtract 2 from both sides of the equation to get 2x = 252.

Lastly, we will divide both sides of the equation by 2 in order to isolate <em>x</em>. On the left side, the 2's cancel out and on the right, 252 divided by 2 is 126.

If our first integer is 126, our next consecutive even integer will be 126 + 128 which simplifies to 254.

Therefore, our two consecutive even integers are 126 and 128.

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.

<span>(t) = 0 gives
</span><span>-24t + 60 = 0
</span><span>t = 2.5
</span><span>For this t, the second derivative s"(t) = -24 is negative. And so, s(t) is maximum for t = 2.5.

Al sumar y/o restar números decimales, siempre se debe aplicar la norma de los signos. * 1 punto FALSO VERDADERO
Luden [163]

Answer:

La norma de los signos es para el producto de números reales, y la norma es la siguiente.

(+)*(+) = (+)

(+)*(-) = (-)

(-)*(+) = (-)

(-)*(-) = (+)

Es decir, el producto de dos números de mismo signo es siempre positivo

El producto de dos números de distinto signo es siempre negativo.

Particularmente, para la suma esta norma no funciona (pues no está definida para la suma)

Pero en casos como:

5 - (-4)  

(esto sería: "la diferencia entre cinco y menos cuatro")

notar que podemos reescribir esto como:

5 + (-1)*(-4)

Ahora podemos aplicar la norma de los signos:

5 + 4 = 9

Donde aplicamos la norma de los signos,  

Podemos concluir que, si bien es una regla que aplica al producto, siempre la tenemos que tener en cuenta en cualquier operación que hagamos.

Por lo podemos concluir que la respuesta correcta es verdadero.

There is a 50% chance a coin lands on heads and a 50% chance the coin lands on tails what is the probability that the coin lands
Olegator [25]

Since the probability of the coin landing leads is 1/2, simply cube 1/2 to arrive at your answer: 1/8.


You cube 1/2 because you must land heads three times in a row and each flip is independent from other flips.
